A cherry tree is fully shaded at my backyard. The grass will not grow-so I ended up getting mud and weeds. I want a grass look though. I used this in my yard for a centerpiece. It also looks just amazing! The artificial grass is of high quality, and the backing of the rubber seems to make it hold better than other products. This is definitely the best out there product-outstanding quality and price. NO irrigation, NO cutting & eco-friendly.
